Nintendo's Surprise Event: What's Cooking This Week?

There is a buzz in the gaming community. A Nintendo Direct might be happening very soon. This is not the big Nintendo Switch 2 event planned for April 2. It is likely to be a smaller event focused on games for the current Switch console. The buzz started yesterday. A person who leaked a big chunk of the Nintendo Direct in June 2024 hinted at another event this week. This person has a track record of accurate leaks. Then, ninspider, who drew the Nintendo Switch 2 dock and tablet before the official reveal, also hinted at a Direct before the Switch 2 event. And NateTheHate2, who leaked the Switch 2 announcement date, said there is a presentation this week. He thinks it is on or around Thursday.

So, what format will this event take? It could be a general presentation. But Nintendo has also done smaller events like Nintendo Direct Minis and Partner Showcases. It is unclear what to expect. Now, here is the thing. Nothing has been officially announced yet. It is all just speculation. It would be unusual for Nintendo to have a Direct so close to the big Switch 2 event. But Nintendo has a history of surprising its fans. So, who knows what they have up their sleeves? The gaming community is abuzz with this news. Reddit and Famiboards are buzzing with discussions. Fans are eager to see what Nintendo has in store. Will it be a big reveal? Or just a small update? Only time will tell.
